I bow again and again to Durga, giver of happiness; I bow again and again to Amba, remover of sorrow.

Formless is your light; it spreads its radiance through all three worlds.

Your forehead shines like the moon, your face is vast; your eyes are red, your frown fearsome.

The Mother's form is deeply enchanting; those who behold it find great joy.

You took up the power of the world, and gave grain and wealth to sustain it.

As Annapurna you nourished the world; you are the primordial maiden of beauty.

At the time of dissolution you destroy all things; you are Gauri, beloved of Shiva Shankar.

Shiva and the yogis sing your qualities; Brahma and Vishnu meditate on you always.

You took the form of Saraswati, and by granting good wisdom delivered the sages and seers.

Mother, you took the form of Narasimha, and appeared by splitting open the pillar.

You protected and saved Prahlad, and sent Hiranyaksha to the heavens.

In this world you took the form of Lakshmi, and dwell close by Shri Narayana.

You dwell in play upon the ocean of milk; ocean of compassion, fulfill the wish of my heart.

At Hinglaj you alone are Bhavani; your glory is boundless, beyond all telling.

You are Mother Matangi and Dhumavati; as Bhuvaneshwari and Bagala you give happiness.

You are Bhairava and Tara, who ferry the world across; as Chhinnamasta you remove the sorrows of worldly existence.

Mounted on the lion, Bhavani appears in splendor; the brave, tailed hero walks before you, leading the way.

In your hands shine the skull-bowl and sword, at the sight of which even death flees in fear.

Your weapons and trident shine forth, at whose rising a piercing pain rises in the enemy's heart.

At Nagarkot you reside in glory; the drum of your fame resounds through all three worlds.

You slew the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha, and destroyed the many Raktabija demons.

The demon-king Mahishasura was extremely arrogant; under the weight of his sins the earth was in torment.

You assumed the terrible form of Kalika, and destroyed him together with his army.

Whenever grave trouble befell the saints, you, Mother, came to their aid.

Amarpuri and the realm of Indra remain free of sorrow, by your glory alone.

At Jwala your flame burns bright; men and women worship you always.

Whoever sings your glory with love and devotion, sorrow and poverty do not come near.

Whoever meditates upon you with a focused mind is freed from the cycle of birth and death.

Yogis, gods, and sages proclaim aloud that without your power, no yoga can be attained.

The teacher Shankara performed austerities, and conquered desire and anger completely.

Day and night he fixed his meditation on Shankara, and at no time did he remember you.

He did not grasp the secret of the form of Shakti; when his power departed, his heart was filled with regret.

He took refuge in you and proclaimed your glory: victory, victory, victory to Jagadamba Bhavani.

The primordial Jagadamba was pleased, and restored his power without delay.

Mother, great distress surrounds me; besides you, who can take away my sorrow?

Desire and craving torment me completely; destroy all my delusion, pride, and the rest.

Great Queen, destroy my enemies; Bhavani, I remember you with a single-pointed mind.

Show your grace, O compassionate Mother; grant me prosperity and spiritual power, and make me joyful.

As long as I live, may I receive the fruit of your compassion; may I always proclaim your glory.

Whoever sings this Durga Chalisa attains every worldly joy and reaches the supreme abode.
